There's a new kind of music going round
It's known as the boogie grass sound
So grab her partner and swing her around
And dance to the boogie grass sound
I love to hear Bill sing about Kentucky
And the Allman Brother's 'Rambling Man'
We pulled the music all together
So dance to the boogie grass band
Well my daddy played the banjo and saws the fiddle too
And taught me how to sing and play for you
I got bluegrass in my soul and rhythm in my feet
And dance to the boogie grass beat
I love to hear Bill sing about Kentucky
And the Allman Brother's 'Rambling Man'
We pulled the music all together
So dance to the boogie grass band
I love to hear Bill sing about Kentucky
And the Allman Brother's 'Rambling Man'
We pulled the music all together
So dance to the boogie grass band
